Laota actually made an anti-war/reflection film on modern civilization, which may have something to do with his old age. People always think of more in old age, and Laota has the world in his heart.
Modern civilization is a house built on slaughter and crime. The ghosts of war will not dissipate. The world has been so ugly for generations. Now it will only be worse than before. The bloody originality of civilization will only have to wait. At that time People are as helpless as people in tiny houses - maybe only a miracle can save the world, or burn the world's sins, although it becomes a dead tree, which is the so-called "return to nature" in Japanese culture, and remove the superfluous transformation of people. . Although it is a dead tree, as long as there is an innocent little boy to water it, it will be full of flowers. There is no gain without sacrifice. Laota said that he is full of hope and confidence, which is good, but it is still full of pessimism about the current world in my opinion.
Those surreal post-war images are shocking, especially the eternal winter, as temperatures drop in the world of nuclear war and people flee from the ruins, but the background is terrifyingly silent to set off the panic images, all kinds of Tarkovsky long shots peak reached. The protagonist becomes a giant and sees the illusion that his house is incomparably small, just like how fragile our world is in the face of nuclear war and superpowers. Laota's silent description of nature is still so beautiful, and the style of stalker and flying into space has been brought to the extreme.
Full score.
